Packard Motor Car Company (Detroit, MI) | the bullfighter

Packard Motor Car Company (Detroit, MI) | the bullfighter - Packard Motor Car Company
Somewhere in the enormous Packard complex's administrative section, a poster for a bullfight that took place in the 1940s tenaciously clings to the wall almost seventy years later. Still vivid and beautiful despite the white paintball splattered across the bull, most of the colors have faded (blues are typically the last to go) but a hint of red is still visible in the cape.
